Grant Administration
All FY25 PA and earlier projects are administered through the TCDI Direct portal, and project sponsors and consultants should continue to use TCDI Direct for those projects. However, beginning with the FY26 NJ round, all TCDI grants are administered through DVRPC’s Pass-through Projects Portal.
Consultant Prequalification Requirement
Consultants are required to meet a set of qualifications in order to perform work funded through the TCDI grant program on behalf of project sponsors.
Qualifications must be submitted through the DVRPC Consultant Qualifications System, and are reviewed on a rolling basis. View a list of consultants prequalified by DVRPC.
